I heard it this way. "There are four engineers traveling in a car: a mechanical engineer, a chemical engineer, an electrical engineer and a computer engineer. The car breaks down. They sit there, looking at each other. "Sounds to me as if the pistons have seized. We'll have to strip down the engine and check everything out before we can get the car working again," says the mechanical engineer. "Well," says the chemical engineer, "it sounded to me as if the fuel might be contaminated. I think we should clear out all the fuel lines and put in fresh fuel." "I thought it might be a grounding problem," says the electrical engineer, "or maybe a faulty plug lead. We'll have to check all the circuits." They notice that the computer engineer has said nothing, so they turn to him and say: "Well, what do you think?" "Ummm - how about if we shut all of the Windows, and then open them back up to see if everything's OK?" Best wishes, I2
